The world is in mortal peril. Sir Noi Crezant, the Lizard Knight, has been sent to gain the aid of the great warrior Amamiya Yuuhi in hopes of finding the Princess Samidare and protecting the planet from the incredible 'Biscuit Hammer' poised to crack the Earth in two. Unfortunately Yuuhi wants no part of it, and the Princess doesn't prove to be the shining 'hero of justice' role model that Noi had hoped for.

The characters are quite awesome.

We have a lovable jerk for the main lead.

The lizard thing, who is so serious business it's pathetic (and funny)

And the princess... who is actually a batshit insane and powerful villain. To the main character though, she has such powerful charisma he can't help but be indebted to her.

The female lead definitely falls into the heroic sociopath role quite nicely.

I'm up to date with the manga raws. The series is a bit darker then what I expected from the beginning.

Spoiler for manga raw spoiler:

Several of the characters get killed.

It's seinen, despite the general shounen feel.

Spoiler for some major stuff maybe:

Some killing, backstabbing... no character is safe... although I'd be surprised if Samidare died. I expect in-fighting between the knights to start up pretty soon. Now that the snake knight knows about the Princess's ambitions it's just a matter of time until they start to form factions. Can't wait.

This manga is simply awasome.... It switches between drama, comedy and action randomly but never leaving originality aside.

Spoiler for ...:

Starting from meeting a lizard talking about saving the earth, meeting the princess that had to be protected in order to save earth but ending pledging his loyalty to her after knowing that her ultimate goal was to destroy the world with her own hands and having what seemed to be a main character die right away....

A theory of mine is that the knights are the ones sealing the evil that wants to destroy the world and owner of the biscuit hammer and the golems are aiming for the knights for that reason. So we have the mages, minions of the evil princess creating golems to kill all the knights in order to bring their master back and the knight protecting the vessel that holds the same evil...

It's an incredible growth for the wounded and sociopathic hero to consider anyone at all a friend, and the easygoing, mature Hangetsu penetrated that barrier.

...only to die early. I have to admit, the author's got guts killing a key character right out like that. And story-wise, I fear Amamiya Yuuhi has just lost his best and easiest road to salvation. The Princess won't save him -- she's insane and she wants him to die with her -- and the new knight doesn't seem like he's all together himself either. Had Hangetsu lived, Yuuhi might just be able to eventually come around to the idea that joining the adult world isn't too bad after all...

I think this mad quasi-suburban fantasy circus is going to get even better.

I don't think Hangetsu could have done it...
At this point it's not just a matter of becoming an adult, it's more of a matter of becoming an adult without Sami... even if Yuuhi wanted to live out his life he'd have to do it without Samidare, and at this point, that is not something he would want to do

Frankly, i can't help but feel like that whole deal with his grandfather was just a way to work around a potneial plot hole... The knights can be granted one wish and that wish can even save the life of another... in otherwords, Yuuhi could have used his wish to cure Sami of her ailing body and thus allow her to live a longer lifetime... before crushing the world at the end =p (assuming she'd still be able to do such a thing later on... which is unknown since we have no idea how she'll pull it off in the first place)

Yeah, what a waste. I was thinking the same thing. Come on, Granddad was old anyway; let him die in peace. And what about Hangetsu? What did he wish for? He didn't even help himself. Who knows what he actually accomplished; maybe he helped out Yuuhi somehow.

Hourou Musuko is freaking amazing. This one is up there too, I thought it was going to be completely silly and it is, but it's done so well that you actually care about what's going on. Such a rare treat.

If I was in Yuuhi's position, I'd follow her to the end of the world too. ^^
